AMD has announced that their 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, with 16-cores and 32-threads, is now available for purchase.

Last year AMD surprised everyone with their first generation Threadripper products which were received with major excitement from enthusiasts and professionals alike. This year, the second generation processors are attracting an even higher audience, thanks to new Zen+ cores built on Globalfoundries 12nm process that promises to deliver noticeable improvements to the 2nd generation of Ryzen Threadripper products.

In fact, the Ryzen Threadripper 2950X delivers up to 41 percent more multi-threaded performance than the Core i9-7900X.
